New Port - VVVVVV

SuperFromND

Really cool to see this game on the Pi now, it's always been a favorite of mine.

I wonder if some of Terry's other games will become open source years down the road. I'd love to get Super Hexagon on the Pi at some point.

TEN years? For me, it was like 2 or 3 years ago. Time flies like me getting trapped on Bomberman. Fast.

First thing I thought when I saw the announcement on twitter was it would be cool to port the C++ version! You guys are fast!

Can't wait to try it!🥰

tacgnol

I tried the port, and it's working great !

The only thing I saw that is weird, is a small mouse cursor in the top left corner of my screen.

Also, the ps4 controller was supported right away by the game, and this is awesome !

@tacgnol Interesting - that does not happen at all to me. What's your setup, what peripherals do you have plugged in,?

shavecat

Cant Install it -
It getting stuck on 75% and give me that in the end -

[ 75%] Building CXX object CMakeFiles/VVVVVV.dir/src/Scripts.cpp.o

Any Idea HELP ?

@shavecat need to wait longer.

Hm, interesting. In my case it's really just a waiting game, it is quite memory intensive.

Suggestion to try out: exit ES and everything else, and try to run it from the terminal. See if it alleviates the memory constraints. How much memory and microSD free space do you have?

shavecat

@pjft
1`giga (even try to make more space but didnt help...)
will try to quit the ES and try again.

pjft

@shavecat Yeah, go at it with removing ES on the memory front.

I take it it's the standard GPU split as well?

shavecat

@pjft
I take it it's the standard GPU split as well?

ah?? I guess

Still stuck on 75% :(

mitu

You'll have to be patient, a few files take longer to compile.

shavecat

@mitu
U usually right, hope that the case now and it wont jump me back out .
will let know .
thanks :)

shavecat

@mitu IT Worked !
thanks all ! <3

shavecat

@pjft
roms/ports/vvvvvv folder
cant find it on the roms folders..
its not on opt/? right ?

I just found it there... (only place)
but i cant copy on the data.zip Promistion denied
Got it working ! Amazing thanks alot :)

@pjft here's a picture : https://imgur.com/a/ipYjIDe

it's not that big of a deal to be honest, but it's there hehe.

My setup is simple. I have nothing plugged in, my controller is a dualshock 4 controller.

I might add that i'm using a unnoficial image.

I will try again on a fresh rpi4 with the weekly image to see if it's any different.

@tacgnol said in New Port - VVVVVV:

My setup is simple. I have nothing plugged in, my controller is a dualshock 4 controller.

The Dualshock4 has a touchpad which might get detected as a mouse, probably that's why a pointing device gets shown.

langest

Which Pi are you guys running on?
I am using an overclocked Pi4 and am getting pretty crappy framerate. Is there anything that I can configure? Compile flags for instance.

Thanks

pjft

@langest on the pi3B things run smooth as butter. Maybe it's something that can be addressed with compiler flags, but what resolution are you on?
